> Be they from outside the Earth’s atmosphere or from some other dimension parallel to our own, there are entities of some sort intruding into our planetary space.

Undeniably so. (Interesting how many things you and I agree on, ay!)

Ever read Edwin Abbott Abbott’s “Flatland”? Highly recommended. I read it when I was quite young and everything made sense after that: UFOs, multi-dimensions, the whole works.

It’s a short book, about 80 pages, written as an allegory. Highly entertaining, written over 100 years ago.

Else I’m wrong, it may even be available as a Gutenburg Project free text download.

Flatland is online. I had my son read it in 10th grade. He enjoyed it so much we then bought a copy. It’s pretty easily found at used bookstores, too.

Hey good morning DieHard, how are you my FRiend?

This will be a brief post, as I’m going to forward my resume’ to the National Weather Service, I apparently have skills at forecasting that I never realized, as my prediction about the scoffers, phuckwits, etc., was absolutely bang on, LOL

Haven’t read ‘Flatland’, but will hunt it down, naturally there will be the possibility of some failed comedian making a connection between the book ‘Flatland’ you mentioned and the ‘Flat Earth Society’, just you wait n’ see.

This level of ostrich-like behavior makes me wonder if Phil Klass left some walking around money in his will to his fellow skeptics before he checked out in August ‘05, lol
